  • I did everything you said and I am getting sound but no midi data I am using the Maschine Mikro does that make a difference? Please help

  • really helpful video!! I only recently purchased Maschine and actually all your videos have been really helpful so thank you.

  • could you use logic express 9 as a mixer to broadcast live? if so how do you send the output to a live broadcast like stickam.com or blog tv

  • Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

  • how woud this work on logic 8????

  • nice video, I downloaded your template but i cant seem to get any sound. I see the midi notes on the screen but theres no sound to go with them. What do you think I'm doing wrong?

  • How do i create a instance of maschine in logic?

  • if not im show theres some other way to tack them in to logic any tips

  • can this be added to a project after u all ready recorded some drums in maschine or will u have had to have set this up first i ask cause im new to logic to i made my first beat last night in logic using maschine as a vst or plug in or wat ever when i recorded the drums they didn't show up in logic the just played in the maschine plug in so basically wat im trying to asking is can this method be used after u all ready have recorded all ur drums

  • Praise the lord for this man!!!

  • Thanks for spreading your knowledge. Saved me much time and headaches! You're the cat's pajamas!

  • good info...does this work with logic 8 i tried but it keeps crashing on my mac

  • Thanks so much for this man. Maschine as a straight plug-in was not working for me at all but this will give me the full functionality I'm looking for.

  • Downloaded the template and got it working, finally have Maschine working in Logic. Guys like you, Saint Joe, and Knock are so helpful, thanks alot.

    Now my question is, and pardon me if it's stupid because I'm new to Logic, how would I bring this template into a track I'm already working on? Basically, I have a beat in Logic w/about 10 tracks already but I'm not happy with the loop and want to do the drums this way w/Maschine sounds. So how do I load that template on an existing project?

  • Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.... Thank you for doing this.

  • thanks guy, very good video, but help me out with this, since a turn my maschine on midi mode it doesn't work anymore. i did exactly what you did, but as i told you, since a turn my maschine in midi mode it doesn't work

  • Thanks man! I'll be giving this a go for sure!=)

  • good tips does this apply to logic pro 8

  • Comment removed

  • Wsup Altruwest...Appreciate the solid instructions and how you teach things. i damn near shot myself trying to figure this out through NI trash manual. Your a lifesaver. Quick question, i got it to work the way you said, but is there a way to do the same thing but with 1 sound (trumpet) panned across the pads changing pitch??

  • @xmicxs Instead of Assigning "Sounds to Midi Notes" you would need to assign "Sounds to Midi Channel" and assign the sound to an unused midi channel.

  • My friend you are a genius. this tutorial helped me out so much.

  • When I click to name the multi instrument in the environment window, it selects and when i let go it deselects. Basically it's not letting me name the multi instrument.

  • When I press record in logic, it starts playing random notes from the group. wtf?

  • I just copped mashine and I'm use to using reason but I want to get a DAW. Do you like the workflow of logic with maschine? I'm getting use to mashine's sequencer but do you think its best to sequence with a daw?

  • Im having trouble getting sound in Logic. Any help?

  • When I go through the list of different channels, the sounds on my pads are always the same, even though in the maschine window I set each group up with different sounds.

  • Why wouldn't maschine have a cd that goes along with maschine where you can watch tutorials like this?

    I mean, it's not like anyone will guess what to do to set all of this up, and llot of people want to use it in logic pro. weird.

  • I literally sat here watching and re-watching this video and following your links and looking up information on forums and always finding myself back at this video. It took me a while but I learned a lot along the way. You are awesome and I wanna thank you for all the help you were to me today.

  • Dit not work for me, but when i change the 64bit from Logic to 32bit it works. Thx man

  • Thanks for this an I am moving from cubase on pc to logic 9 express on mac and am considering a Maschine because of its integration (like a virus TI)

    Question. Having come from using an MPC 2500se and having to trigger midi notes I appreciate your way of doing things, however... If you have kick, snare, hats, effect sounds on different midi channels, how can you use the machines automation, effects etc.... And if you have one automation pattern which repeats every 8 bars, or through say each

  • Hey,

    can you also tell me, how i can use the Play button from the Maschine Hardware Controller to press also play inside of logic

  • thanks, man! a very useful tutorial! well explained and straight to the point! thump up!

  • I really appreciate this video. how do you mix each maschine channel individually? Any changes I make to one affect them all. Do you bounce the track in place and them mix it down or is there another way? Thanks!

  • Good tutorial!

  • This is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share this with the world.

  • great job altruwest on video but i did everything you said in this video and after i switch to control mode nothing plays or records my midi i have my midi cords hooked up just no sound or midi function what am i doing wrong fam?

  • how do you put maschine mikro into controller mode? is this tutorial working for mikro also?

  • COME CHECK MY  BEATS OUT ON MASCHINE MIKRO

  • IF I LOAD A SOUND ON PADS SUCH AS BASS,HOW CAN I RECORD DIFFERENT NOTES OF IT (AFTER MASCHINE WAS TURNED INTO MIDI MODE)?

  • thanks for the tutorial! I still have a problem when it goes into control mode i have tried putting it into massive and on group E but still nothing any ideas?

  • Comment removed

  • Hello Altruwisdom, i was wondering how to set up eq's for all the midi channels

  • Mine crashes every time I route from the two environment windows, once I go from the midi object to the mixer object in the other environment window...BOOM! Logic dies.

  • Just subscribed. Dope videos thanks

  • Every time I route to my mixer logic CRASHES !!! HELP!!!

  • Ito add, I've followed all the steps, including the batch midi setup in maschine's GUI...

  • I'm so close on this! When I switch to massive template group E, I don't get any midi activity in logic. I've downloaded your template, just doesn't send any midi to the new instrument.

  • OK IF YOU HAVE MASCHINE MIKRO YOU DONT HAVE THOSE TEMPLATES ALL U HAVE IS ABLETON AND DEFAULT

  • What about automation?

  • Download the Logic Template from my website, there is a direct link in the video description

  • @Altruwest its not leting me get the templete I put in my email address but no download

  • @Altruwest where do u get the templates from all i have is ableton and default

  • . Dope tutorials hands down!!!. But i cant really get pass the virtual connection between the multi-instrument that u create and its corresponding track on the mixer. i have tried this a lot of time and whenever i pull the virtual wire and connect, the system crashes. any suggestions please

  • @darapsonify For convenience, you may download the Logic template from my website (in the video description), that should get you up and running

  • @darapsonify

    same here...

    I downloaded ur template...but still as soon as I pull the virtual wire 2 the channel it crashes logic???!

    any advice??

    cauce this seems to be a major problem Native instrument has with maschine......

  • @noavaro . I'm having the same problem. Any advice

  • It does register when I have it set to group E but what about when I want to chop up a sample and record it in logic? It doesn't seem to be registering when I assign chopped samples over the pads. How do I solve this?

  • This is great!! I've gotten into maschine, after coming from the mpc and I love the workflow, just for a change. It's very different being to access everything at once, but I really love the mpc swing. Fortunately, someone recorded the mpc 3000 swing templates for logic, which i was using for awhile. This tutorial allows me to setup my maschine with logic and be able to use those swing settings. Thanks Altruwest. your always great, sharing knowledge.

  • Also, I know I posted this in another vid and hoping you can maybe help me out. In stand alone mode, when i record with a count in, my first note is usually missed is there anyway to go about fixing this? Thanks altruwest. Peace

  • Great tutorial THANK YOU for the time, now how I would got about Exporting All Tracks as Audio Files?

  • fucking legend bro cheers

    

  • Dang, this is a way good tutorial and is exactly what I've been looking for. I don't have a drum pad though. Just my M Audio USB keyboard that I use for all other plugins. I want to be able to lay Maschine drums with this keyboard into Logic. What do I need to do differently!? Thanks for your help.

  • I managed to get this all sorted out thanks, but how do i record into logic from machine things like the not repeat function etc?

  • Thanks for this man..really diggin it. But why when I set it up like this..when I hit the pads, my sound is not as stronge as when I take it out of Midi Controller mode and use as is. I have my fix velocity on when I switch between the two.

  • Thank you for the tutorial....but Maschine never fails to frustrate me at times when it shouldn't. For example, I've done everything you've instructed in the video. But then when I close my project and go back to it later, the Maschine stops working and won't play the sounds I was able to before. Can you please shed some light into this? Thanks.

  • Awesome bro just bought machine and saw your tutorial learnt a lot thanks blessings ;-)

  • Yo, Good looks Fam. Where about are you from? West.

  • i've been all over the net tryin to find the right tutorial & i love it. thanks for droppin science on this subject. question...after switching to MIDI mode in Maschine, is the Note Repeat button still useable?

  • thank you men! all is working now!

  • Comment removed

  • Hi Altruwest, firstly just want to say thanks for taking the time to upload this video! i am having a little problem though, when I open the mixer instance in Environment and try to route the multi-instrument (maschine) to the mixer channel of Maschine for some reason Logic Pro shuts down immediately. I've tried restarting my Mac and I have also tried this many times (15+). Any suggestions?

  • @djzain604 Best thing to do would be to get the template from my website

  • @djzain604 did u get any solution for you problem? am having the same issue

  • OK so I'm with you, really good tutorial, but as soon as I turn Maschine into MIDI Mode by shift + control, I cannot hear the sounds on the pads, why? how do I correct this? Also, is it possible to use the swing on the maschine etc instead of Logics?

    Thanks alot for a great tutorial man!!

  • @sk1tzan switch the Massive Control Template and choose group E, which is where C3 starts on the template. Any notes lower than C3 will not trigger sounds.

  • Hey bud...this process is not working for me. Once I put it in control mode, I can no longer hear the sounds from my group.

  • @JockoSims switch to the Massive Control Template and choose group E, which is where C3 starts on the template. Any notes lower than C3 will not trigger sounds.

  • @Altruwest YUP. I almost freaked out when my pads were not making any sounds.

  • I've got it all sorted out and used the massive template then when i click record in logic nothing records?

  • @kierantatum switch the Massive Control Template and choose group E, which is where midi note C3 starts on the template. Any notes lower than C3 will not trigger sounds.

  • @Altruwest thanks for the reply.. sorry im a complete noob to all this.. so how can you use others groups asides from group E? thanks

  • This saved me a lot of work! thnx!

  • I wonder if you can use the repeat function in this way....And while im thinkn bout it...another good feat. you can ask about or maybe you might know how to sidechain inside maschine....like making my perc and hihats pump and breath with my kick or something like that....but again thankyou and I love your productions

  • 9:16 Nodding much?

  • Hey man, thanks for your explanations. But I got a question :

    I got Maschine 1.7 and i'm trying to get "Maschine" (in blue) name in the mixer layer. The one you show at 3:00 in the video.

    How do you get it ? I only have the options of Bus 1 to 64, Input 1 to 34 ans no entry.

    What I did wrong ? Thanks

    Paul

  • Is it possible to connect the maschine mikro to logic the same way you did here?

  • Can u do this wth samples

  • After following all instructions carefully, logic will record the midi notes OF MASCHINE but frm my mpk49 instead. I try to record from the pads but nothing tracks out. Any suggestions?

  • dope tutorial man, well explained. is there any way to do the same but working with audio tracks??

  • this is briiliant my only problem is that i can see the midi notation recorded but no sound? this happens as soon as i press shift control on maschine. do i have to route the maschine object via a bus?

  • Since i apply the "Massive" template, nothings happen in logic, no sounds

    can u help please ?

  • Hey F-Major! I wanted to figure this out for so long and i didn't know you had already covered this setup where you put each group on a track. I am just wondering if this would be possible by just slaving Maschine instead of using it as a VST? i want to open Komplete 8 inside Maschine and that would just eat my all my ram

    Also just want to tell you how dope your video and your music are , i find inspiration sometimes when i listen to your keys man, always want to hear more

    Thank you

  • @purpleandbianco Hey Fam, Maschine can Slave to Logic, but its not an ideal way to work because the sync is much tighter when using Maschine as a VST. Midi is a pretty dated protocol in general and I would only go that route if you are using hardware in conjunction. In order to use Midi Sync with Maschine you just need to send Midi Beat Clock from Logic to Maschine via the Virtual Midi port. Thanks for supporting the movement and the music

  • @Altruwest

    I do all my music in maschine, I just really wanted to do it for a more linear workflow, even though now i understand it is not really that complicated for to deal with scenes n all. But i get the point

    I appreciate your quick response man n keep the beats commin!

  • Hi !

    thanks for your video !

    I did exactly what you say (and downloaded the template) but it's not working yet.

    at 5:43, When i do the batch set up of my 3 groups to 3 differents midi channels, it's all the stay in the last channel i set up, so at the end all my 3 groups stay with the same midi channel, is it a bug or something ?

    So i assume that's why the rest of the tutorial is not working with me.

    Logic doesnt let me record a midi comp into my external midi track.

    can u help please ?

  • Hi F Major, and thanks for your great video.

    I have a question though: how did you route the audio from Maschine? At the start of the video, there is Maschine as Input in the I/O panel but I don't know how to do that.

  • Hey does this work inside any DAW. I have cubase

  • hey man, I'm a rapper aspiring producer, I think i did everything right except you kind of lose me when you say i need some sort of massive template, I can't hear sounds from the machine although I see the midi notes being recorded, I appreciate you taking time out of your life to help us lol!

  • can somebody tell me how to get this to work with the maschine mikro? i understand its essential that one uses the maschine massive template? thats not existing for the mikro so i'd have to copy that template or something?

  • @iamkontraproduktive got it :) just had to watch it twice.. thanks man!

  • Hi,

    Thanks for this info. it’s really helpful. I have downloaded the template but I have a problem when trying to use the massive template inside maschine. it produces no sound and thats the case with all other templates except for the GM Drums template and it doesn’t cover the whole range of the instrument i.e: the banks available are from A to D only. how can I fix this problem and use a bigger range, same as the Massive template?

  • @mogohary80 While in Midi Control Mode only use the Massive Temple on Group E for drum kits.

  • @Altruwest Thanks for the reply but still when I use the massive template in midi control mode on group E I can't get any sound. I think there might be a bug or something because when I hit the pads on maschine the Logic window disappears and I can see my desktop..this happens in the second I hit the pad and then I get the normal window view in Logic again. I would really appreciate it if you can help me fix this problem..Thanks man!

  • Your Awsome for doing this bro:) I had This whole setup rollin in Ableton already with each channel already routed to audio channels and ready to record after....

    Now that ive switched to Logic i knew it was gonna be a pain to figure out again... not anymore:) thx

  • This guy is very helpful! But i think maschine should come out of the box able to work with top DAWs. Music making has gotten soo technical. Wish it was simpler to use these programs together.

  • can you help.only one thing doesnt work.how do I use maschine instruments in logic?just like how you did the drums in this set up,lets say u load a brass on group A on pad 1 in the masch plug in.when I try to play my midi key or the masch pads it only lets me play 1 key 1 note..how can I use all the other keys on my midi key or pads on the masch without loading the same sound on all 16 pads and changing the pitch..i have 88 keys on my midi keyboard.lol please help

  • Can you still automate parameters in Maschine using this setup?

  • You're a lifesaver Altru. Especially for including the template download,this is my prime setup now man,thanks!

  • got past that problem, but when i record, still no midi appears in logic. I made sure in maschine it is set to 'sounds to midi notes'. Not sure why its not recording the midi. Appreciate the help

  • okay when I click on it, logic opens and it comes up saying "plug-in "maschine" of type 0 - 32 not available" .

  • when i get to sync it , it cracheess on me...software rebots again

  • hi i tried every thing to get logic to work but it wouldnt

  • I did it again and it worked, thanks. Ill let you know how it goes

  • thank you so much, this is great

  • When i play the pads logic is picking up the audio. But when you record, hit the pads, logic just kinda jumps and nothing gets recorded. Much appreciated if you could help

  • Hey thanks for the tutorial. Everything seems to be good except when i play the pads logic doesnt actually record any of the midi. PLEASE HELP

  • @BitchImMikeLoooowry Hey did you try downloading the template from my website? Let me know if that works out for you.

  • @Altruwest Yeah i went to your site. I put my email in there to receive the template about a week ago but i havnt got it yet... if you could send it through Id appreciate it. Thanks

  • @BitchImMikeLoooowry check and make sure the link did not go to your Spam filter. Some people have experienced that the template email goes straight into the Trash/Spam Folder. Let me know if you don't find it.

  • @Altruwest yeah i checked and it didnt. Ill just put my email in again?

  • Great tutorial! Thanks

  • The method you describe works a 100%! Thnx, but i only have an amazing delay/latency when i hit the pads the sound plays after 2 seconds. The I/O buffer size is set to 32 and i don't have any latency with other AU's, i have an i7 processor. How come?

  • This is EXTREMELY helpful for workflow!  Thank you so much!!

  • Comment removed

  • Man, this was extremely helpful man! I had been working totally in maschine just to get basic ideas out and then exporting to Logic. This saves me some steps....preciate the share

  • automate*

    

  • hey dude. was just wondering how you can automap the pitch and other parameters like you did at the end of this video in logic. cheers!

  • @samelliott89 I was also wondering this...did you ever find out?

  • man bro i think im still doing something dead wrong it still wont write from the maschine to logic from the pads but my keyboard writes the sounds from the maschine to logic

  • Yes any help you can provide.... I'm trying to use Maschine in Logic similar to this, but I want the pads on mono channels recording midi notes or audio into logic, not sending groups to channels.

  • Will this method work when Maschine is in multi out mode and I have my kick and snare on separate channels?

  • Hey Altruwisdom,

    Can I do the reverse? I mean, can I use logic sounds in Maschine?

  • Hott Video Man

  • hey I'm quite new to the maschine, I'v done everything you said... channels, templates etc but it's still not playing the samples into logic. What should I do? is there anything on the template I should fiddle around with?

  • thank you so much for this vid and the template! Logic kept crashing when I was tryna link it, now alls perfect! thank you!

  • thanks you helped my life

  • Thanks F Major for an awesome video! This has been a major breakthrough for me as the one aspect of Maschine that I do not like is the lack of quantizing options. Using your method i can now quantize parts from within Logic using MPC swing templates. Nice!

    My question is using your method how do you then go about recording your drum part into audio? That would make a nice follow up vid. : )

  • The Sounds to midi notes part is giving me trouble. When i assign a Group to a channel. It erases the previous Groups channel and assigns it to the one i just changed. For example. Group A changes to Midi CHannel 2 when i try to change Group B to Channel 2. Is there a template that i could download that would eliminate a few more steps. Is the template available for download suppose to be ready to go or are there a few more things to setup.

  • @jrel2785 same problem here...can anyone advise?

  • can u still use the pad mode?

  • Thanks man. I watched this like 12 times till I got it right. The only thing I missed was selecting group E in control mode. I got it now. Great stuff man. It would be even bad if I was able to use the maschine transport options to control play stop and so forth.

  • Man thank you SO SO much for this video. I cannot tell you how much this helped me. Until this I thought it was impossible to sequence MIDI through Maschine in Logic. I was using the drag and drop audio thing, which was extremely limiting. This opens up so many new things, and I really appreciate it. I would've been lost without this extremely helpful video. Thanks again man. Huge help.

  • Thanks a lot man. my workflow def stepped up. 1 question though. How do you go about routing the drums on each midi channel to a different mixer track so that you can mix them indivdually? Or do you just continue to mix them in the maschine?

  • I cant decide whether to go with mpd 32 or maschine

  • THIS HELPED ME SO SO MUCH, Thank you so much. you honestly give the dopest tutorials really easy to understand and most important not boring or annoying voice. Thanks loads mate was going crazy about this problem for a good 6months reading endless forums etc.

    Thanks for this bro!

  • Im havin a huge latency integrating my maschine... What could be the problem stand alone works fine and my buffer is only 128 stillt it takes way too long untill the pads react?!?!? thx

  • @altruewest, nice video. Is there a process similar to this that will work with the MPC-3000. Basically I want to use MPC-3000's sequencer and Maschine's sounds, but I want to play maschine's sound from maschine into the MPC-3000.

  • Comment removed

  • when i am in midi mode.... and i choose massive template etc... the little midi light flashes in logic but i get no sound.... got as far as 8:39 in the video lol who knows wha gwan?

  • Ok guys logic does crash when trying to connect the midi instrument environment to the mixer environment in version 9.0 but does not with the 9.1.3 update. So I would suggest updating to the latest version and I'm also running in 64 bit mode but not sure if that makes a difference or not. Hope this helps.

  • @altruewest, could u tell me whats the specs on ur macbook pro lookin into buying one but im not sure if a basic mac pro will handle my work flow or should i spend alittle more and get a better model. My main concern is being able to use maschine and a bunch heavy plugibs without lag or and problems

  • What up, bruh!! I hate to pester you about this shit but I can't find anyone online that knows how to fix this problem..... Anyways, are you still gonna do that vid on how to fix that clipping noise when dragging and dropping audio from maschine to logic?!! I'm actually gonna cop maschine on friday!! (Either that or you could just tell me - vid or email - either way works! lol Thanks big homie!!)

  • When I add the new midi channel, for some reason the next group does not play. It's the same kit as group A... Should I save after changing the sound midi batch set up? Also does anyone know how to apply pad mode "fixed Velocity" once in midi mode for maschine? I could barely hear my kick. Thank you F Major that video really helped.

  • The only suggestion I can make for those experiencing a crash in logic is to download the free template from my website and import the settings from that file. Seems though whatever version of logic some of you are using has a bug.

  • @Altruwest Yo...how do route the individual hits from each bank onto separate channels within logic for mixing? Cheers

  • ok thanks

  • I was following all your steps, and every time I try to use the 2 environments to link the Multi Instrument to the Mixer; I drag the cursor to the Mixer and then my Logic crashes...

  • do u know it a mac g5 would be able to run logic????

  • @theoutsideas I dont know about Logic 9, but I used to run Logic 8 on my G5

  • i dont have the green inst on your screen mine is blue audio how do i get that i went through all the steps and i cant hear nothing when i do the group e thing or record anything please help

  • First, thank you for the video and template. When I loaded some instruments in Maschine, I could only get one note to play. Should I be able to play instruments rather than just drum kits? Let me know if you get the chance. The template solves the problem mentioned above about the crash problems.

  • @devinecarter instruments is a bit of a different setup, when setting up a Group with instruments, you need to use the Maschine Midi Setup to Assign Sounds to Midi channels so that each instrument can have  a separate midi channel. What I have shown applies to drum kits and one shot samples in maschine.

  • @Altruwest, thanks again, would you mind going a little deeper here. I tried to set it up, but no luck. Feel like this set up could be all I need for Logic and Maschine if I can get the instruments working.  Thanks for all your help.

  • @Altruwest , could you break this down for me a little bit, or direct me. Thanks again.

  • @hiphopblues Figured it out. If you want an instrument/sound to play in logic, first restore defaults in sound midi batch set up, then enable sound midi settings on your sound/ instrument. Works like a charm. Thanks for the help everyone.
